Mediawiki Notes

My Experience with MediaWiki

Heavy data model - will it level off eventually? 5MB for a practically empty db?
Pretty slow when used without memcached, much much faster when used with memcached
Do the page sections which are separately editable keep the database smaller?
After about 12 months of using MediaWiki, I have to say I'm really pleased with it. It has the capabilities I need, and is extensible in ways that I find helpful. I particularly like the ability to edit page sections, as well as create categories. It would be nice if there were some better plug-in and theme capabilities, but for now I'm happy.

Why can't the admin edit the logo from the web interface?
How to integrate plugins, like bad behavior?
Would a remote memcached help performance if a local server is not available? i.e. dreamhost.com? Urg, dreamhost php doesn't have support for memcached. They allow you to build your own, but I'm not going to bother considering network latency.
